Update to iOS 15 breaks controls on AirPods Pro

As one Reddit user says, “WTF Apple? I know she can hear me fine, but every variation of “Siri noise cancellation” turn on etc. gets a response of ‘I’m sorry I can’t do that.’ Anyone know how or why? Or even better how to fix?This was one of the main functions I use Siri for with both iPad and iPhone.” Another Reddit user responded, “Came here for this. Same problem. That’s basically the only way I control it as my hands are usually dirty at work etc.”

With Active Noise Cancellation, outward-facing microphones detect external sounds which the AirPods Pro counter with anti-noise, canceling the external sounds before the user hears them. Transparency mode allows outside noises in. For example, let’s say you’re crossing the street in a busy city while listening to some loud tunes. By activating Transparency mode you can hear that truck bearing down on you blowing its horn as the driver tries to get your attention.
